Ougon Musou Kyoku/Erika Furudo

Erika Furudo

Background

A piece introduced in the gameboard of End of Golden Witch by Bernkastel, she's the detective and self-promoted "intellectual rapist". At the end of Episode 5, she was named the "Witch of Truth" by Bernkastel, but was stripped of the title shortly after by Battler, who had ascended to Endless Sorcerer.

Introduction

Erika is an easy character to pick up, but very hard to master. She has a very strong neutral game and mixups but low damage output.

Health = 1300

Pros :
+ Has a double jump
+ Has huge normals, controls space easily
+ Excellent air game due to her double jump
+ Excellent ground game due to her amazing ground normals
+ Has good matchups against zoners because of her mobility

Cons :
- Low HP
- Very bad defensive options, does not even have a proper reversal
- Low damage output due to limited combo ability anywhere but in the corner

Known Changes

Patch 2.10:

6A can now be jump cancelled on hit/block and SP2 damage has been reduced.
Patch 2.30:

Damage on Metasuper has been adjusted from 801 to 999.

Ability

Force Counter
Every hit registers as a counter hit. (Only the first hit of a combo counts.)

Special Moves

File:OMK Erika 421r.png	【Leap of Reasoning 「飛躍する推理」 - 421A/B/C】 Erika spins her scythe over her head, thinking she is a helicopter. Hits multiple times and will carry the opponent with you if they are airborne. A Version will carry you forward, B Version will carry you up, and C Version will carry you backwards.
	【Little Gray Cells 「灰色の脳細胞」 - 22A/B/C】 Erika taunts the opponent while sticking her finger in her ear nonchalantly. Upon hit, she will teleport into the air. A Version teleports Erika slighty backwards, B Version will teleport her forward, and C Version will teleport her a farther distance forward.
	【Theory Presentation 「仮説の提示」 ―　[4]6A/B/C】 Erika throws her scythe forward. Button determines distance. On block/hit, draws the opponent closer to Erika just a bit. A Version hits once, B version hits twice, and C version twice thrice. [4] = Hold back for half a second before pressing forward.
	【Cut The Cheese Into Two/Four 「チーズを２つにするには・チーズを４つにするには」 - 214A/B/C】 Erika leaps downwards, swinging her scythe overhead as it emits a glorious blue light. Hits High. Can be followed up by pressing the button used to do the first move again when she lands, does not combo however.

SP Supers

---

	【Let’s end it with this, shall we!?「核心に迫る推理」 ―　421A+B】 Erika charges towards the opponent while spinning her scythe around her, passing through the opponent both on hit and block. Causes knockdown.
	【If you think you can hit me, go ahead~ 「刹那の閃き」 ―　22A+B】 Erika performs a longer-duration version of her doppelganger counter. Upon a successful counter, the laugh from the visual novels will play as several doppelgängers appear over the opponent’s head. Erika then teleports over the opponents head. Gives more frame advantage than other series of 22.
	【Further proof 「さらなる提示」 ―　[4]6A+B】 Erika throws a more damaging version of her C scythe at you.
	【You sure you’re ready for it!?「チーズを２つにする実演・チーズを４つにする実演」 ―　j.214A+B】 Erika does a stronger version of her "Cut cheese into two" with smaller horizontal momentum. Can be followed up by pressing a button again after she lands, launching the opponent into the air. It combos.
		【Open fire, you goats! 「山羊ども、ぶっ放せ！」 ―　236236C】 Erika dashes forward, sweeping the opponent. Upon hit, she will leap back and don her pirate hat as 3 goats with cannons spawn and barrage the opponent with cannons, firing three shots total. Each cannon does 30% guard break, adding up to a total of 90% if all three shots were blocked. Costs 2 meter.

Meta Super

---

【A Perfect Autopsy 「完全なる検死」　―　j.641236C】 Erika swoops downwards to strike the opponent. If it lands, the opponent becomes grounded as Erika climbs up the side of the guesthouse in her school swimsuit before swooping down, bringing a garbage bag over the opponent’s head and slitting their throats.
